Street Fighter X Tekken: The Dirty Dozen

Available: Who knows when, for the console, but it is on-the-disc DLC. which means it is already in your possession, you just can't access it.Price: Who knows.What You Get: SFxT sure stepped in it when it set aside 12 characters as "exclusive" for the PS Vita version, yet included their introductions on the console discs, basically telegraphing their inclusion as premium downloadable content later. A Capcom mouthpiece tried to wrap a bow around this turd by saying the disc inclusion "also furthers our desire to avoid a 'Super' version of the game down the road." Sure. It just means "Super" will be the only adjective left out of Street Fighter X Tekken: Turbo Alpha Arcade EditionWhy It's Evil: Because it plainly insults the consumer's intelligence. Also because it's code on a disc they bought, yet marketed as an exclusive feature on a completely different platform.Evil Score: 5/5. Folks, "Evil DLC" is often meant as an ironic rant but in this case, it's the truth. Capcom developed these characters for use in the console version. They're sitting there on the disc in your tray. You will pay additional money to use them. End of story.

Also, this is Battlefield 3. Everything pisses off its loyal community.Evil Score: 3/5. Not sure if evil It has the odor of a map pack with an adjusted playlist and some toys and vehicles. Plus it was more than a year ago we heard of the Back to Karkand map pack DLC. Battlefield 3 has issued zilch since then. Step on it, goddammit! You need to be publishing more map packs for us to swear we'll never buy!
